Additional information
Choose Your Cover Fabric
7 oz. Polyester — Our entry-level marine cover fabric, woven from 100% polyester fiber at a 7 oz. per linear yard weight. This lighter option keeps the cover manageable for solo handling while still delivering reliable protection against sun, rain, and debris. Backed by a 3-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black.
9 oz. Polyester — Step up to our heavy-duty polyester, engineered at 9 oz. per linear yard for boats that face tougher conditions or extended outdoor storage. The denser weave adds an extra layer of defense against abrasion and weather without adding unnecessary bulk. Protected by a 5-year fabric warranty. Ships in Navy or Black.
Sunbrella® — For boaters who want the best, our Sunbrella covers use 100% solution-dyed acrylic — the same fabric trusted by marine professionals worldwide. Naturally resistant to fading, mold, and water damage, Sunbrella holds its color and integrity season after season. Covered by a 6-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black, Smoke, or Marine Blue.
Both polyester options feature solution-dyed construction, where pigment is infused into each fiber during production rather than applied to the surface afterward. This process locks color deep into the material, preventing any dye transfer to your boat’s gel coat or finish. The result is a cover that stays vibrant without bleeding or rubbing off. Our polyester is also designed to breathe — it allows moisture trapped underneath to vent out naturally, reducing the risk of mildew and keeping your boat dry. The fabric holds its form without sagging or stretching over time, stays lightweight enough for one person to handle, and stands up to prolonged UV exposure and harsh marine weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 1801 CC cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine polyester, 7oz solution-dyed polyester, and premium Sunbrella acrylic. All solution-dyed — color permanently fused into the fiber — for fade resistance that handles years of coastal UV and salt on dock lifts and trailers.
Yes. This center console cover fully encloses the entire Parker 1801 in a single tent-like shape that peaks at the console and slopes smoothly down to the rubrail in all directions. The outboard engine is completely hidden inside the cover with no secondary bumps or gaps — one clean, aerodynamic silhouette.
Under 5 minutes solo. Drape the cover over the bow, pull it back over the console and engine, then secure with the hem cord at the rubrail and adjustable tie-down straps with quick-release buckles. The 1801's compact 18' length and 7'6" beam make this especially easy.
Absolutely. Reinforced at all stress points for highway-speed trailering. At 2,050 pounds dry, the 1801 is Parker's most trailered model and this cover handles repeated trips without loosening, flapping, or fatigue.
Complete full-enclosure barrier over the Parker 1801's helm electronics, GPS/fishfinder, rod holders, and all seating surfaces. Because the cover fully encloses the boat including the engine, every surface gets UV, rain, salt spray, and debris protection.
2-year manufacturer warranty on materials and workmanship. The 9oz fabric delivers 5-7 years and Sunbrella acrylic delivers 8-10 years of continuous coastal protection.
Water-resistant with DWR finish. Breathable to prevent mildew underneath — critical for a full-enclosure cover that wraps the entire boat including the engine compartment area.

Parker 1801 Center Console Boat Cover — Full-Enclosure Solid Fiberglass Protection
The Parker 1801 measures 18′ overall (20′ with bracket) with a 7’6″ beam, 2,050 pounds dry, and a 14-degree deadrise modified-V hull — Parker Boats’ compact entry-level center console built in Beaufort, North Carolina. Every Parker hull is solid fiberglass — hand-laid in a female mold with top-shelf gel coat, fiberglass mat, woven roving, and isophthalic polyester resin for maximum water resistance. No coring, no balsa, no wood — just solid glass that gets stronger with care. Standard Yamaha F115 power pushes the 1801 to 32 mph, with an optional F150 reaching 40 mph. With 40 gallons of fuel, a forward livewell under the bow lounge, stern jump seats, built-in rod storage, and clever toe rails tucked under the gunwales for bracing against fish in rough weather, this is a lot of fishing boat for 18 feet. Pair this full-enclosure cover with boat shade kits for complete protection.
Full-Enclosure Fit for the 1801’s Compact Hull
This center console cover drapes over the entire Parker 1801 in a single smooth tent-like shape — peaking at the center console and sloping evenly down to the rubrail in all directions, with the outboard engine fully enclosed inside the cover. No secondary bumps, no gaps — just one clean silhouette that seals out UV, rain, salt spray, and debris from every surface including the engine cowling, forward livewell, stern jump seats, and all electronics. A hem cord and adjustable tie-down straps secure the cover for trailering at highway speeds — and at 2,050 pounds, the 1801 is Parker’s most trailered model. Installation takes under five minutes solo. For the T-Top version of this hull, the Parker 21 SE T-Top boat cover offers hardtop-compatible coverage for the next model up.
Crystal Coast Heritage, Premium Fabric
Parker has been building boats on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast since the late 1960s — minutes from Beaufort Inlet, Cape Lookout, and some of the most productive fishing waters on the East Coast. The 1801 carries that heritage in every solid-fiberglass panel. Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5-7 years of UV and salt resistance, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8-10 years. Both are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable — especially important for a full-enclosure cover that wraps the entire boat. Reinforced seams handle regular trailering. Every cover ships with a 2-year warranty within 1-2 business days. For the larger CC option, the Parker 23 SE center console boat cover covers the 23-foot Special Edition.
